Refactoring to Design Patterns

Refactoring is an essential skill for working with legacy code. Knowing code smells and how to correct them through refactoring is essential for maintaining an existing code base. But what are we refactoring to? We don't want to refactor just for the sake of it. This is where design patterns really shine. When we refactor to a proper design pattern, we are putting together a real solution to the problem rather than just moving code around to make it a little more readable.

This session will show you how to use your full developer toolbox so you can go from code smell to refactoring recipe to design pattern to solution.
